I am sadly disagreeing with the above advice :(
The linux tools have greatly improved. The OP has many choices
1) use the "Manage" options directly from windows and resize the disk there
using Microsoft's own tools.
2) use Gparted LiveCD/SystemRescueCD/PartedMagic/ plain old cfdisk from any
linux live cd and delete the partition then extend it like Patrick and others
have suggested
3) Your own solution(pay some $ for Partition Magic or get a trial copy, ...?)
I would take option (2) most of the time if not all the time :)
The linux tools are getting better and better with each release (there are
exceptions of course^{1})
Regards,
Antonio
^{1} bugs with Gparted 0.5.2 or 0.5.1 not correctly doing something with disk
operations, but older version work(s,ed)
